│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Triumph defined hard rock for many fans in the ║ │
│║ 1970s and 1980s, and this Canadian trio holds a ║ │
│║ special place in the minds and hearts of many a ║ │
│║ rocker. This seminal band reunited after a ║ │
│║ twenty year break to play Live at Sweden Rock ║ │
│║ Festival on June 7th, 2008. Their performance ║ │
│║ was not just a reunion show, it was also a live ║ │
│║ ôgreatest hitsö show, culling the best material ║ │
│║ from the bandÆs storied discography. At long ║ │
│║ last, Frontiers has chosen to release a CD and ║ │
│║ DVD set of this historic concert. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The groundbreaking Triumph trio of Rik Emmett ║ │
│║ (vocals, guitars), Mike Levine (bass, ║ │
│║ keyboards), and Gil Moore (vocals, drums) was ║ │
│║ joined by guest guitarist Dave Dunlop, and they ║ │
│║ rocked the house with a non-stop barrage of ║ │
│║ classic hits including ôLay It On The Line,ö ║ │
│║ ôNever Surrender,ö ôBlinding Light Show,ö and ║ │
│║ ôFight The Good Fight.ö The album is nicely ║ │
│║ mixed and surprisingly solid for a live ║ │
│║ recording û the crowd is part of the show, never ║ │
│║ dominating the music, and the vocals and ║ │
│║ instruments are all clean and clear. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ From MooreÆs powerhouse drums and raspy vocals ║ │
│║ on the opener ôWhen The Lights Go Downö to the ║ │
│║ soaring vocals and guitars of ôNever Surrender,ö ║ │
│║ Triumph delivers with technical excellence and ║ │
│║ enthusiasm. Emmett and Dunlop do a fine job on ║ │
│║ the delicate guitar passages of ôLay It On The ║ │
│║ Line,ö and EmmettÆs voice is as smooth as ever. ║ │
│║ The twin guitar attack really kicks into high ║ │
│║ gear on ôAllied Forces,ö and this rocking track ║ │
│║ highlightÆs Mike LevineÆs excellent bass and Gil ║ │
│║ MooreÆs ability to sing and drum simultaneously. ║ │
│║ Booming bass, passionate vocals, amazing guitars ║ │
│║ and overall tight musicianship by everyone make ║ │
│║ ôNever Surrenderö a great track. ôI Live For The ║ │
│║ Weekendö is simply a strong live version of a ║ │
│║ kicky and upbeat song. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The mesmerizing ôBlinding Light Show / Moon ║ │
│║ Childö opens the second half of the concert. As ║ │
│║ always, this is one of TriumphÆs strongest songs ║ │
│║ both in terms of intricate technical performance ║ │
│║ and fascinating lyrics, and it allows Rik Emmett ║ │
│║ in particular to strut his guitar stuff. Gil ║ │
│║ Moore pulls out his best blues man voice for the ║ │
│║ cover of the Joe Walsh anthem ôRocky Mountain ║ │
│║ Way,ö while EmmettÆs vocals soar on the radio ║ │
│║ hit ôMagic Power.ö The band truly lives up to ║ │
│║ the title of ôRock & Roll Machineö û which was a ║ │
│║ kick-ass tune way back then, and can still blow ║ │
│║ the roof off anyplace now. Rik EmmettÆs extended ║ │
│║ solo is a joy to hear û and shows that he hasnÆt ║ │
│║ lost a step. A terrific version of the epic ║ │
│║ ôFight The Good Fightö wraps the show in fine ║ │
│║ style, proving Emmett, Levine, and Moore to be a ║ │
│║ true class (and classic) act technically and ║ │
│║ emotionally. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Live at Sweden Rock Festival is an excellent ║ │
│║ album for Triumph fans, and shows that the band ║ │
│║ can still play with the best of them. The ║ │
│║ chemistry and teamwork is as strong as it was ║ │
│║ two decades ago. Triumph prove themselves to ║ │
│║ still be the kings of arena rock! So if you are ║ │
│║ a fan, then TriumphÆs Live at Sweden Rock ║ │
│║ Festival is a must-have. ║ │
│║ ║ │
